 Well, hi there, I'm Sandy Alnok, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and today I'm gonna do some yappy happy mail This is for the hefty doodle blog hop. So, you know what a blog hop means? Go hop along and leave comments because there's probably prizes, right? This is the stamp set called yappy happy mail that I'm gonna be using today It's got puppies in it, of course, and I've cut three four by four panels that I'm gonna use on a trifle card And I didn't line up the envelopes that are crisscrossing each of the panels, but I think it's gonna be okay anyway I decided I didn't want to stress out about doing The whole thing all over again after all this stamping. So what the heck? Some of the puppies were stamped first and then the images stamped behind them So they look like they're layered on top of each other Just with some really simple masking Now I wasn't happy with the coloring on this puppy and the colors that I ended up choosing But it does get fixed at the end. So even though it doesn't look like it's all real blended nicely It's gonna come together later because I was smart enough to add another color to it later on and One of the things that I decided to do with this particular card was make it for my sister who does not watch my videos So I think I'm safe to Go ahead and say it's gonna be for her Her birthday is coming up not really super soon, but soon enough So I am going to send this one to her and I have a us mailbox on the first panel and A european mailbox. She lives in britain Is going to be on the last panel. So i'm going to be sending card with the puppy dogs Across the whole thing and I thought it would make a fun birthday card to send to her Since it kind of shows the visual change from one place to another And I'm zooming through all these envelopes. I didn't write down all these colors because it's a gazillion different ones But I'm doing a rainbow of colors across the whole thing. So when it's all open It's a rainbow flight of of cards across the entire thing And when I did my original design for this, I did a pencil line across all Three panels so that I'd have the same horizon line for all of them and be able to figure out what I wanted to do This middle dog is flying through the air. So he's up high He's not down at the horizon. So it looks like he's up there trying to get some of the mail that's flying And if you have little crazy dogs like this, you probably know they would probably jump after Things flying through the air both of my dogs have decided in the last month or two as we've gotten nicer weather And we have things like a fly that gets in the house or whatever. They've both decided that chasing bugs Is the best thing in the world. So now I have not one dog. It used to be just giallo that did it But now vienna does as well So I have dogs who are always jumping at things Don't even jump up on the bed in order to try to get to the ceiling where a fly is It's a little bit crazy. So yeah That is my world of nuttiness having two pups in the house And I do call them pups, but They are getting older This summer giallo who's my younger one is going to be two In july. So yeah, they're not I guess they're still puppies. I'm going to still call them puppies because they're still my babies But this dog on the or these dogs on this card. I decided to make them all look the same So I'm using the same colors for each one of them That's why I didn't put the colors on the screen for you because it's the same ones that I use for the first dog But here's where I realized that I wasn't super happy with the color here And I wanted to do something different with it and I wanted to kind of pull all that together So I went with a yr2 4 Which is darker than the yr2 3 that I had started out with And look how quickly and nicely that just kind of pulls everything back together again After it didn't look really kind of like nicely together. They looked a little bit crazy before so Just keep coloring. That's what I always say after you Get to the point where you think I've ruined it. It's never going to be okay now Well, guess what one more stroke sometimes is just enough And here I'm trying not to do too much coloring over and over and over again Or else I'll lose the contrast that I had from my shadows But just putting that one coat of the darker color worked really great I went with a duller kind of brown here the e4 2 so that it'll be different than the doggy color And then I decided to do a red post box For this one and the yapi mail does not come on the box. It's a sentiment in the set, but I added it to the mailbox so Realized too late that I or later that that was supposed to be the slot for the mail I think goes in the top. I'm not sure what the thing on the front is. Maybe it's a sign Or something. I'm not really positive. I probably could have looked it up online to see what an actual British post box looks like but there you have it anyway, so I have a blue box on the front cover red box here on the inside panel and then the Mail goes from yellows and reds over to blues so they both of them kind of switch So that I don't have all the blues on the inside and all the reds in the outside, etc So I did actually think that through and plan it a little bit I did decide to put a sidewalk down here underneath them So it's going to be one consistent sidewalk across all of the whole card all three panels And then put some shadows underneath So I'm putting a shadow under the mailbox and under the dog and I thought wait a minute I could put shadows under all those little cards, which would be kind of fun And the shape of each one of those shadows is going to be a little strip basically So little little tiny slices that'll just give it that Feeling that all of that mail is floating through the air And in order to make a card that was going to be four and a quarter tall And then each panel is four and a quarter of black paper. I had to make two panels that are each Two of these so there's two pieces of card stock behind that center panel Where I glued those together so I could make it a trifold card All right.
